Bunyan Lumber Company needs to create a table of the engineering properties of its lumber. The dimensions of the wood are given as the base and the height in inches. Engineers need to know the following information about lumber:
The owner makes lumber with base sizes of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 inches. The height sizes are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 inches. Produce a table with appropriate headings to show these values and the computed engineering properties. The first part of the table’s outline is shown as follow:
Lumber Size Cross-Sectional Area Moment of Inertia Section Modulus
2 x 2
2 x 4
2 x 6
2 x 8
2 x 10
2 x 12
4 x 2
4 x 4
